Parker LFPP6VME4 Male Elbow Ball Valve 1/4 in Full Port

Product Description

The PARKER LFPP6VME4 is a male elbow, bi-directional manual ball valve designed for 1/4 inch pipe connections in fluid distribution systems. It features a full port design with MNPT x Push-To-Connect end connections, allowing quick inline installation without additional fittings. The polypropylene body keeps the valve lightweight and corrosion-resistant, while the EPDM seal material provides reliable performance across a range of media compatible with potable water and food-contact applications. The wedge-style handle delivers a firm, positive shutoff. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this valve in low-pressure water, beverage dispensing, and light fluid control lines where NSF and FDA compliance is required.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, water treatment, food service equipment, and fluid handling systems where push-to-connect convenience and full port flow are priorities. The 3/8 inch outside diameter tube connection pairs with the 1/4 inch MNPT male thread for compact inline placement in tight spaces. Its bi-directional flow design provides installation flexibility without the need to orient the valve in a specific flow direction, reducing the chance of incorrect installation in complex assemblies.

Compatibility

Designed for use in systems requiring 1/4 inch MNPT x 3/8 inch outside diameter push-to-connect fluid connections in FDA, NSF-51, and NSF-61 compliant installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line fully before connecting or disconnecting push-to-connect fittings. Apply thread sealant tape to the MNPT male threads per standard trade practice before making up the threaded connection. Verify push-to-connect tubing is cut cleanly and squarely to ensure a proper seal at the collet.
